The Death of Innocence

Well after a couple of months in the blogging wilderness I'm back on the cusp of so called "Adulthood."

It's been an amazing couple of months in which so many things have happened.

The first was that I finished my Bachelor of Information Technology, so in May I'll be able to have the letters B.I.T. after my name. Exciting stuff.

After leaving Ballarat on election day I drove a truck almost non-stop (full-time +) until New-Years. This gave me some badly needed money to tide me over until I start work on the 25th of February. I wonder if O-week at work will be anything like O-week at Uni.

I also managed to spend at least half of the above earnings on a 3-day trip to Adelaide with Tiarnee. The money was spent on furniture for my flat that I was lucky enough to secure in a prime location just north of the city. It really is the perfect spot, only a 10-15 minute commute for me to work, a 5 minute (or less!) commute to see Tiarnee, and for her, is walking distance to her bus route to Uni. So because she is moving in later in the year, she wanted a say on the table and chairs, fridge, and Queen-Sized bed that I (we!) ended up purchasing. 'Discussions' were had, but the fact that we where still on talking terms for the trip home really did bode well for the future.

The last 2 weeks saw our family with an exchange student from NZ. Jacques was a Protea turned Kiwi who was really good to show around the place, and even came to Ocean Grove with us. That is where we've been for the last week. In Ocean Grove relaxing, playing tourist in Melbourne & did I mention relaxing? Oh, & cheering for Marcos Baghdatis.

In summary, those people that told me that "remember this time, school years are the best years of your life" where oh so wrong. I hated school. But I'm loving now. God is amazing to me, and I seriously sometimes wonder if it can get any better. Did I mention I'm turning 21 tomorrow?

Sellout

I'm now officially a sell-out. I've just joined Facebook. So if you wanna add me as a friend, I suggest doing it quickly. This is because I can't see my regular involvement on it lasting much longer than the new year.

To all my friends who encouraged me to join: (you know who you are!) Why? What do you see in it?

War Against "If Life Were a Musical"

This YouTube clip is for all you fellow Chaser fans out there. It's a bunch of random people doing their own 'If Life Were A Musical' on 'The Chasers' It's pretty good!

I'm still alive.

I have not been abandoned, no I have not been
Deserted and I have not been forgotten
- I Need You, Relient K

There's been a long absence of blogs recently. The reasons for this are many and varied. I'll update it with some of lifes recent happenings at a time when I'm not working 12 hour days.

Like 'The Simpsons', there is a Relient K lyric applicable to almost every situation I think.

It's so close I can taste it...

1 Exam to go. Only days away from having a tertiary education & letters after my name!!!! Woooooooooooo!!!! Can't wait. Friday afternoon sees the curtains draw on my University career. It is so exciting! It's just 1 of the amazing things that God is blessing me with at the moment! There's been somthing else kinda important happen in the last week or so as well, but I'll save that for another post.
